At a press conference with the prime minister of Japan this afternoon, President Obama said that Americans haven't excessively celebrated the death of Osama bin Laden, and suggested that Mitt Romney would not have made the decision to kill the terrorist mastermind.

Since obozo couldn’t make a decision, he let the BUSH procedures continue. THAT is what led to the end of bin laden.

And by now is documented fact that barry did not ORDER anything — he deferred to the military in the (correct) hopes that barry could get the credit if it worked and the military could join everyone else under the bus if it failed.

UPDATE: The Romney campaign responds with this statement from press secretary Andrea Saul: Its unfortunate that President Obama would prefer to use what was a good day for all Americans as a cheap political ploy. President Obamas feckless foreign policy has emboldened our adversaries, weakened our allies, and threatens to break faith with our military. While the Obama administration has naively stated that the war on terror is over, Gov. Romney has always understood we need a comprehensive plan to deal with the myriad of threats America faces.

Pretty strong stuff there from the Mormon Bishops camp.

Not

This from a coward from a a family of cowards who have avoided serving in the military for generations.

I mean even the Kenyan Obama probably has a brother in law who's dad served in Vietnam.

SLICK WILLARD is facing a con man that makes Joe Smith look like a piker.

Romeny could cinch this right now. He could publicly tell zero to shut the hell up and to quit compromising our country's greatest assets for political gain.No pretend what if bullshit; it happened on his watch, the mission was accomplished, shut the hell up and let our special operations continue on their missions.Now let it go.

I remember the Hilldebeeste with her hand to her mouth. Later she said she was having an asthma attack. Wasn’t there some story about there wasn’t any picture they were looking at, like it was a fake photo-shoot?

Obama had better hope that AQ doesn't attack us again in retribution for OBL's death. Spiking the football has consequences.

I wonder how much credit Obama will take if AQ or the MB issues a fatwah against Obama and his family that will follow them the rest of their lives. Salman Rushdie still runs around in fear of his life. Obama is not too bright.

This is really unwise politically for Obama and making it about Romney instead of himself alone - he could have spun this to be solely a positive for him but trying to use it to say Romney would not have done the same thing dilutes the potential benefit to him - I don’t think most people will buy what he’s trying to sell here.

I am convinced this is Obama's Achilles heel. In a debate, it could be his undoing. Find the issue which triggers the anger, hit it again, and again and again. Obama looses his "cool". Then after the debate, drive home the point about Obama loosing his cool, and his image as the cool, unemotional, "Mr Spock" starts to unravel.

I don’t understand what he is trying to achieve with this. No undecided voter would ever believe his hypothesis. And I would think his smirking about killing an enemy of America would hurt his with his base, on the margin.

For months we heard nothing but non-stop cries about the horrible inhumanity of putting panties on the head of naked terrorists. Bush was the worst war criminal of all time. Yet 0bama orders drone strikes against terrorist and Americans accused of terrorism. Death without due process is somehow less morally wrong than panties on the head? And that ignores the inevitable collateral damage from the drone strikes.

I guess if you are morally bankrupt you can write morality checks all day long and no one on the left utters a peep.

The whole Obamalamadingdong regime is a comedic farce led by Joe Biden. Here in Australia I’m constantly asked “How could you put someone like that in office?” I can only respond with “Our media put him there”

Remember the contrast: when OBL was killed, Obama's announcement was all about praising himself. When Saddam Hussein was captured, GWB's message was all about praising the soldiers who accomplished it.

If Clinton had taken OBL when the government of the Sudan offered to hand him over, 9/11 might never have happened. Clinton even acknowledged (on tape) that he was offered OBL. Bush could have used that for political advantage but was too high-minded to do so. Nothing is beneath Obama.

You got that right, grrrrr. And, they continue to treat him with kid gloves and like a special quota hire, gently and without mentioning any of his numerous goofs, “mis-speaks,” or snark/vitriol toward his enemies.
